Touch The Doll
Directed by Jessica Risco
Featuring Mark Vashro & Sarah David
FADE UP:
A stool sits center stage. On the stool sits a creepy looking doll. CANDACE stands stage left. She is pointing a gun at STEWART, who stands opposite her stage right.
CANDACE
You have to go back!
STEWART
No. I don't.
CANDACE
Look, just give it back to me and everyone walks outta here.
STEWART
It's just you and me, honey.
CANDACE
I swear I'll pull this trigger!
STEWART
Now why would you go and do a thing like that? You'd just be killing yourself.
CANDACE
And you!
STEWART
Look, I like it here. I don't wanna give this up. And if you kill me, you'll be stuck. Until you die.
(Candace YELLS with frustrated rage, and drops the gun to her side.)
CANDACE
Why do you always have to be right? It's so unfair!
STEWART
Honey, you haven't talked like that since you were 14 years old.
CANDACE
Come on, mom. Please? Please, can you just touch the creepy doll so we can swap bodies again? I want my life back.
STEWART
Honey. I love you. But are you kidding me? I mean, just look at this. I don't know if you know this, sweetie, but you are quite the hottie.
CANDACE
Ughn, mom! That's fucking disgusting.
STEWART
Language!
CANDACE
Are you kidding me right now?
STEWART
What? Just because I've taken your body hostage doesn't mean
I'm not still your mother. Now give me that gun before you
hurt someone! Pointing a gun at your own mother, my gosh!
